Below are some of the strategies we employ to get you ranking on Google.

The four pillars

The four pillars

What actually moves rankings.

Google’s algorithm is made up of thousands of signals, but they can be organized into the four categories called E-A-T+I below. Focus on these four areas, and your visibility will explode over time. Skip one, and you’ll struggle until you find an SEO that understands the problem.

EAT

EAT + Intent.

Google's algorithm identifies great content using a group of signals called E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Our SEO tactics are grounded in these core signals as we build out and optimize your website, content, brand, and all other factors that go into an organic campaign.

01 / Expertise

Content & experience

We show Google you are an expert.

Your website is more than just pages of content, and keywords. It should prove to Google’s algorithm that you have the experience and credentials that customers want.

  • Author and company credentials
  • Original examples and proof
  • Service specific depth
  • Clear buyer questions answered
  • Freshness and review cadence
02 / Authoritativeness

Votes of approval

Earn proof from 3rd party sources.

Authority happens through signals like local citations, reviews, mentions, and links that tell Google you are an authority.

  • Relevant backlinks
  • Brand mentions
  • Local citations
  • Reviews and reputation
  • Topical content hubs
03 / Trustworthiness

Proof & confidence

Accuracy & ownership.

Trust happens through external and internal signals on your website. Trust links from authoritative sites, accurate business details, and clear ownership are just a few examples. We use reviews and schema markup to back it all up.

  • Accurate NAP and contact info
  • Clear ownership and policies
  • HTTPS and technical hygiene
  • Review and reputation signals
  • Schema backed facts
04 / Intent

Search behavior

Give the user what they are looking for.

E‑A‑T is the foundation, but the page needs to match a user’s needs. We solve intent by ensuring your visitors’ expectations are met.

  • Keyword to page mapping
  • Buyer journey alignment
  • Local and service modifiers
  • SERP feature analysis
  • Conversion focused calls to action

What ranking actually looks like

The blue links, written to attract clicks.

Organic can be found below sponsored listings and the map pack. Sometimes, you will only get paid and organic, but you’ll always see organic listings on every SERP even if a map pack or ads are not displayed. Especially for informational searches, and long-tail search terms (keywords made up of 4+ words) like “Which SEO company has the most experience in Houston?”

  • Experience. Real work, examples, and firsthand knowledge your customers can trust.
  • Expertise. The page proves subject matter expertise, not just keyword targeting.
  • Authoritativeness. Earn votes of confidence from external links, mentions, reviews, citations, and brand signals.
  • Trust. Highlight proof, transparency, organization details, privacy policies, and reputation where users and Google would look for them.

How an SEO Campaign unfolds.

Our promise to you

Your business is in good hands. Our experience proves it.

Three promises we've kept for nearly fifteen years, and the next fifteen.

Safe & proven tactics.

Search engine algorithms reward some SEO tactics, but penalize others. When an SEO uses “black hat” techniques like content automation or link farm building, the results can be devastating to an SEO campaign. Resulting in algorithmic penalties that become very difficult to reverse. At Inbound, you are in good hands, our tactics have never caused an algorithmic penalty for our clients.

Communication.

You should be able to hold your SEO accountable. With Inbound, expect regular emails and telephone calls. Over the years, we have found that customers who collaborate on their SEO with regular communication achieve success much faster. From content development to industry research, we will actively collaborate to ensure our campaign performs optimally.

Reporting & analytics.

Everything is customized, even our reports. By default, we send you a report covering keyword rank, traffic, conversion data, and website metrics. We set up a dashboard that you can visit in real time, but you can also get a report on a monthly, weekly, or annual basis.

Pricing

Priced to your needs, not a one size fits all package.

Every client has a different website, industry, and competition. For example, a garage door company in Katy is far easier to rank than a personal injury firm in downtown Houston. They need different types of content and tactics to rank on page 1. When you give us a call, we look at these types of differences when we give you an estimate.

Pricing is based on what you need to get where you want. Not a one size fits all package. Here is how we figure it out.

What moves the price 4 factors · custom quote · 24 hr

Market & geography

SUBURB → METRO
SUBURB MID CITY DOWNTOWN HOU
A business in Conroe, Katy, Sugar Land, or Kingwood will sit on the lower end. A business in Downtown, Galleria, or the Med Center will sit at the higher end. When there are more competitors, more searches, and more pages, our campaign needs to match the amount of effort it will take to help you win.

Level of competition

LOW → HIGH
NICHE STANDARD LAW · MED · FIN
A small town business with 6 competitors is a fairly easy campaign to setup and manage. On the other hand, the tactics become more aggressive for a business in a city with 100s of competitors.

Service lines & pages

1 → UNLIMITED
1 LINE 3 LINES UNLIMITED
One location is a pretty easy rank job, but a Multi-location businesses needs a more aggressive, and hyper GEO focused campaign with dozens of pages to support all locations.

Content & cadence

2 → 8+/mo
2 / MO 4 / MO 8+ / MO
An industry and location with very few competitors is much easier to rank than a business with 100s of competitors. From content to backlinks, time spent on the campaign is calculated into the estimate.

    What we are asked the most.

    Common questions

    Answers to SEO questions we are asked often.

    How long until SEO actually works?

    Most clients see growth within 120 days, while other clients need longer if their site was penalized or hit by a core update.

    Request an audit and we will set realistic expectations for what you can expect.

    Anyone promising page 1 rankings within a short period of time is simply lying.

    Do you do guaranteed rankings?

    Yes, but we cannot tell you exactly when or exactly where. All we can promise is that we will get you there, and we have a track record to prove it. Just keep in mind, Google’s algorithm is always changing, and nobody knows exactly how it works. What we guarantee is our SEO tactics work, we just can’t tell you when.

    What's the difference between SEO and Google Maps?

    Google Maps listings are shown to customers in your area because Google uses proximity to decide who shows in maps for which keywords and which town. This means your maps listing will attract clients within a predefined radius, set by Google, based on your location.

    Organic, on the other hand, is available to rank in your city, state, and on a national level.

    Most local businesses want both; that’s why our SEO and Maps services are usually coupled together.

    Will you write the content for me?

    Yes and no. It depends on your industry and needs. If you need a full site rewrite or several pages of new content, we will connect you to a trusted copywriter. If you need some new pages here and there, we will write them ourselves if you do not have the time.

    Do I need a new website to do SEO?

    Usually no, and most sites can be worked on as is. There might be some development work that needs to happen before we begin, and we will tell you before you sign on the dotted line. If you do need a new website, we will tell you long before you sign up for our services. We prefer to work with WordPress and static HTML sites.

    We offer a 50% discount for all new SEO clients in need of website design and development.

    What if I leave?

    From your content and domain to your website, you keep everything that you brought to us and everything we built.
